Group Obedience Class- Demonstrates a left & right finish after call to front


On the first recall I ask them to finish on the left and the second time I have them finish on the right.  The left is called a swing and the right the dog goes around on the handler's right then goes behind and ends up in the heel position with the dog on the left.

Now we have the Saturday class in the lobby demonstrating the same moves but with more distractions.  We have Nancy & Louie, Ann & Lava and Sue & Onslow.  We have Rally Obedience Classes here on Saturday morning at 11a.m.  It is a requirement for Level 1 that the dog  be able to finish on the left or the right.  Level 1 is on leash and Level 2 & 3 are done off leash with the signs that you follow  being more difficult.  Rally is a fun way to practice and compete in several organizations like AKC with or without a pedigree, UKC, or APDT.  Rally is something for those who look for a higher level of obedience.  It can be done for fun or for those who desire they can title dogs pedigree on not.  All you need is a dog that likes to work with you plus you will have a level of control that you can use to show off if you desire.  It just looks good to see a dog working obediently with their handler.  If you are interested give me a call and I'll invite you to come and watch a practice session.  Allan
